Update on Gambian Projects Fundraising Fortnight

A huge thank you goes out this week to the following people:

Catherine and Tim Hamlyn for collecting items, packing boxes and
transporting them.
Reg Hackworthy and his team at Plymouth Self Storage who have loaned us
a storage unit while we collect all our donations together.
Bandvulc who have agreed to collect children's shoes at their tyre
factory.
Trevor Anderson for lending me his white van and for continued support
with collecting books to ship over to the schools in the Gambia.
Eve-lynn Weekes for knitting her socks off!
Paris, Vienna and Owen Read for fund-raising by organising a Where's
Santa competition.
Shirley for her continued support in many ways.

A special thanks goes out to those who have pledged to sponsor a child
throughout the year. Just £2 a month will enable a child to go to
school, have uniform, school bag, exercise books and pencils. Regular
updates on the children's progress and photos will be sent to keep the
sponsors informed of their child's progress. This is a great way for
children in this country to learn about the lives of children in Africa
and have real contact with them. Please don't hesitate to get in touch
with Debbie on 07596 249987 for further information on sponsoring a
child or email her at dwdebs@aol.com or visit the website at
www.gambianprojects.com.
